Our Products in the East

The New York Herald says: California
pears, peaches plums and apricots, all
much larger than fruits grown in the East,
were plentiful in the Washington and Full
ton markets recently. On one stand on
Barclay street, outside of Washington
market, there were pears from California
exactly twice the size of our Bartletts and
rosy with the blush of ripeness. They
were marked ten cents apiece, three for a
quarter. Big, dark, wine-colored plums
were forty cents dozen and made the re-
porter's mouth water. White Muscat
grapes had the same effect, and as for
peaches, they beat the best of the New Jer-
sey Crawford peaches in size and brilliancy
of coloring, and are said to be delicious in
flavor, bat they cost one dollar for the
smallest basket. and by the crate they
come to 50 and s. So A carload of
canteloupes direct from the Pa
cifc Coast from Woodland, Yolo
county, and about twenty-five miles west
of Sacramento, arrived yesterday, and
were in excellent condition after their lOag
journey. They were gobbled up by a
limited number of fruit dealers in double
quick time, and held at high figure, a
box of them being worth S. There were
California pears almost as big as eante-
loupes selling at $5 per hox of eighty to
ninety pears. Five and ten cents apiece is
plenty to pay for pears, and 81 that price

Agitation Over the Question OF ReIegat-
ing Santa Claus to Oblivion.
iCoPlTiGh, 1887, by tie CaltorziG AssocG!ed Press
Boston Mass December 20th.-Started
indirectly by the press, there has broken
out here remarkable discussion concern
ing santa Claus in this paradise of cranks.
The SUBJECT has been tackled vigorously by
the clergy, who have given the matter great
prominence. So interesting was the con-
test that the Daily Herald undertook can
vass of the citizens TO learn their exact
opinions, and leo circulars were sent to the
most prominent churchmen in the city,
containing the following two questions
flrst-Do you believe that the pleasure
which children derive from Santa Claus
iusliiies the deception that Is practiced
upon them by their parents?
Second-Should you, as teacher of mo-
rallty and truth, prefer that the Santa Claus
myth as feature of the Christmas festival
be done away with
Out of the hundred circulars ninetv-five
answers were received, which were classi-
fed as follows: Ia favor of abolishing
Santa Claus, !; favor keeping him (as be
is), SO; favor telling the truth about him,
Is. The lines We're usually closely drawn.
The orthodox, positive churches, such as
the Baptist and Congregational denomina-
tions, as rule violently opposed the old
saint. One for instance, Rev. A. Hall, says
the saint belongs to a barbarous past, evi-
IDENTIFY, however, not part of that barbarous
past of New England, when Christmas was
hated; when, for instance, Governor Brad
ford would not let tn , Plymouth boys cele-
brste it, even to the extent of pitching
quoits in the streets.
In the midst of this it is refreshing to find
| among his advocates the names of some OF
the strongest and ablest clergymen in Bos-
| ton, for instance:
Rev. A. II. Plumb says: Iconoclasts, in
pity | say pause, and spare our good old
Santa Claus"
Rev. Philip Brooks never met man
who became liar or reprobate for beliey-
ing in Santa Claus when a child"
]. Savage: " 1t never occurred to me
that the Santa Claus myth was a real de.
ception."
E. e. Hale: Santa Claus is a household
god"
The matter has so grown that dissen.
sions have sprung up in the numerous con.
gregations over the differences about the
Christmas tree king.
